Outside of empty shells.

 And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems,

 The record company has paid out for the wine.

When you're in the state you're in;

 You've got your pen and notebook ready,

I think it's about time, time for us to be-gin.

And we're over in a 52nd Street a-partment,

 Socializing with the whino few,
           c                        G 
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set,
c                                               G
 But they're flying too high to see my point of view.

Intro:

Am  Em  F  Em  F, G  c

Verse 1:

c            G   F#  F
 Boy and his dog,
                         c
Went out looking for the rainbow;
Am        Em   Dm             Em
 You know what did they learn,
F                G
 Since that very day?

Verse 2:

c               G     F#  F
 Walking by the river,
                        c
And running like a blue streak,
Am           Em
 Through the fields,
   Dm                  Em
Of streams and meadows,
F                 G
 Laughing all the way.

Chorus 1:

c           G     F#  F
 Oh redwood tree,
              c
Please let us under,
Am            Em               Dm  Em  F
 When we were young we used to go;
G                  c
 Under the redwood tree.

c                   G     F#  F
 And it smells like rain,
           c
Maybe even thunder.
Am         Em           Dm        Em  F
 Won't you keep us from all harm,
G                  c
 Wonderful redwood tree?

Verse 3: 

c                  G       F#  F
 And a boy and his father,
                                        c
Went out, went out looking for the lost dog.
Am        Em
 You know what,
   Dm                   Em
Oh haven't they learned,
F                       G
 Since they did that to-gether?

Verse 4:

c                       G     F#  F
 They did not bring him back,
                  c
He already had de-parted.
Am           Em
 But look at everything,
Dm         Em       F
 They have learned,
                            G
Since that, since that very day.

Chorus 2:

c           G     F#  F
 Oh redwood tree,
              c
Please let us under,
Am            Em               Dm  Em  F
 When we were young we used to go;
G                  c
 Under the redwood tree.

c                   G     F#  F
 And it smells like rain,
           c
Maybe even thunder.
Am         Em           Dm        Em  F
 Won't you keep us from all harm,
G                  c
 Wonderful redwood tree?
